Re: Gucci Pour Homme II as a Fall Signature

It's an ok smell imo, but for fall there's just much more season fitting fragrances out there (tea>>>Midnight in Paris, cinnamon>>>Original Santal). I am in the crowd where this is a "weak" fragrance as far as power goes.

Re: Gucci Pour Homme II as a Fall Signature

This is a strange one, in my opinion. It works very differently for different people. So many seem to get poor longevity from it, but I easily get 12+ hours from 2 or 3 sprays. It smells fantastic.

Jack Hunter's comment above perfectly sums up GphII. Excellent versatility. Whatever you think you're buying it for, you'll find out that's just the beginning. For me, GphII was supposed to be a spring date-scent. I ended up wearing it all summer long, and it's become something I can wear anywhere, at any time. The only thing I can't say is how well it would work in the winter since we don't really get winter where I live.

If you like this one, BUY IT NOW. Gucci has confirmed they're discontinuing it. When their current supply is gone, it's gone.

Re: Gucci Pour Homme II as a Fall Signature

To me it's an all year rounder except summer. In spring it gives its best, in winter it's not a failure. I think there was a thread in fact, a year ago, where a member put quite a good pic of it by the window, if my memory serves me well, lobbying - sort to speak - for it to be the winter juice and I almost agree with that.

The only thing I know is that I called Gucci and was told it had been discontinued and would disappear from their site and retailers when their stock was gone, similar to how Gucci Pour Homme went away a few months ago. That's exactly what I was told... but I was speaking with someone at customer service, not someone high up in the company.

I think I'm going to stock up before it's gone!

This is one of the rare times that I've done exactly that. I now have 2 x 100ml bottles of it. It will be such a shame if this one is discontinued because it is one of those products that flies the flag proudly for designer frags.

Such an underrated gem.

The tea-violet-olive leaf-musc blend is pure elegance. If it was a Xerjoff people would gladly pay 3 times the price for it. It doesn't project loudly nor is it avant-garde but I can't think of any occassion where it wouldn't be a good fit.

I want to cop out from analysing this frag because it more about the masterful blending than it is about dissecting each note. Nor do I want to post a review of it here, that gets old pretty quickly. There are only so many times I can read: " Initially, one is treated to...".

It smells great, and for the moment it is still available. Get it while you can!
